At its peak, over 11,000 Crow Wing Power customers and 17,000 Minnesota Power customers were without power following the Monday, May 30, storm.

A 500-yard-wide EF-1 tornado touched down in Poplar Township in Cass County and traveled about 4.3 miles northeast from a cemetery, across Highway 64, and into a wetland that was inaccessible to Weather Service investigators.

Strong winds, heavy rain and a reported tornado were all part of Memorial Day storms that tracked across the state, with many downed trees and thousands left without power.

Straight line winds caused damage throughout the area, toppling trees over roads, power lines and buildings.

As of Tuesday evening, area emergency personnel reported no injuries as a result of the storms.

Blowfish Studios revealed over the weekend that Krut: The Mythic Wings has been given a release date for PC and consoles this July.

The majority of customers should be restored by Saturday night, said Amy Rutledge, manager of corporate communications for the power company, but some may not be restored until Sunday.

The power was restored to almost all customers within 30 minutes.
